WELL-BUCKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 300,240, dated June 10, 1884.

Application filed December 31, 1883.

I?) (tZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ROBERT H. FOAT, of lVeat-herford, in the county of Parker and State of Texas, have invented a new and Improved XVelhBucket, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved well-lmcket,which is simple in construction, strong, and durable.

The invention consists in the peculiar 0on struction and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter fully described, and pointed outin the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of my improved well-bucket. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the top ring of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the bottom cup. Fig. 4is a plan view of the under side of the valve.

The top ring, A, of the bucket is provided with a cross-bar, 13, having a central aperture,

\ a, through which the valve-rod G can pass,

which rod is provided with an eye, D, at its upper end, for fastening the rope I. At its lower edge the said ring A is provided with an annular rabbet, b, for receiving the upper edge of the cylindrical casing E, made of sheetiron. The lower edge of the said casing E rests in an annular rabbet, 9, formed in the outer surface and at the upper edge of a cup, G, forming the bottom of the bucket.

(No model.)

The cup G is provided on its bottom with an aperture, F, in the edge of which a rabbet, h, is formed for receiving the edge of the valve H, held by nuts on the lower end of the valverod 0. The cup G is provided at its top with a cross-bar, J, having an aperture, is, through which the valve-rod can pass. The ring A, the cup G, and the valve H are made of malleable iron, and the casing is made of sheet- 1IOl1.

I am aware that a well-bucket composed of a sheet-metal body seamed to cast-iron rings is old; and I am also aware that awell-bucket' has been provided with a valve in its bottom,

the said valve being on the end of a rod extending through the bucket and held open by a spring; and I therefore do not claim such inventions.

ROBERT H. FOAT.
